Iranian protesters demonstrated against continued U.S. hostility towards Iran to commemorate the day students occupied Tehran’s U.S. embassy in 1979.

Thousands of Iranians have taken to the streets of Tehran in protest at ongoing U.S. aggression on the anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover by students in 1979.

To mark the National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance on Saturday, demonstrators condemned U.S. intervention in the region, calling attention to President Donald Trump’s recent remarks against the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

“As the supreme leader said, American administrations have always been cunning and hostile, so I don’t see any solution for the disputes,” Shorjeh said. “The enmity with America will continue and our resistance will as well. I don’t see any solution in my child’s lifetime, let alone mine.”

Protesters set on fire papers reading “Iran Nuclear Deal” in front of the former US embassy in Tehran.

On November 4, 1979, shortly after the Islamic Revolution toppled the U.S.-backed monarchy, Iranian university students stormed the U.S. embassy in the capital, claiming it had been a center of espionage bent on overthrowing the new government. The students later published evidence supporting their claims. The day has since been commemorated with annual marches in front of the former U.S. embassy.

During Saturday’s march, people also expressed solidarity with Palestine, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Myanmar and the Shiite Muslims of Saudi Arabia.

“I think that even if I live 120 years, the enmity with America will not be buried — at least not as long as America doesn’t change its hostile policy toward Iran,” Roghaye Riyahi, another protester told media. “In fact, today, Trump the madman has contributed to our celebration of the takeover and more people have taken part — gloriously and wholeheartedly.”

US military and economic interference around the world since WWll has, obviously, earned the rage of much of the world. What if we’re reaching the point where the international community agrees that it is just too great of a risk to allow the US to continue existing?
